Salon Cuvee Le Mesnil 2004 AOC 0.75l

Salon Cuvée Le Mesnil 2004 AOC 0.75l is a distinctive presence in the world of high-end sparkling wines, a Blanc de Blancs that expresses the 2004 vintage through the purity of Chardonnay from Mesnil-sur-Oger, a Grand Cru in the heart of Champagne's Côte des Blancs, where the limestone soil lends the wine a mineral sparkle that lingers even after years of maturation. The history of Salon is one of independence and radical choice: a house born from the idea of ​​dedicating itself to a single identity, that of its terroir, with a philosophy that favors declared vintages, select parcels, and intentionally limited production to offer consistency and depth in the best vintages. The company's identity is founded on a careful simplicity: no compromises on the grape variety, no waste of energy on unlikely blends, but a precision born from the care of the vineyard, manual harvesting in the most suitable parcels, gentle pressing, and winemaking that enhances freshness, purity, and longevity. Distinctive elements of Le Mesnil 2004 lie in the balance between elegance and tension; the nose offers ripe citrus, notes of green apple, and a subtle floral hint, while a light toastiness on the finish speaks to the slow aging on the lees and the continuity with the terroir. On the palate, it is dry yet enveloping, with a saline kick that supports the structure and a subtle creaminess that accompanies every sip without weighing it down; the long finish leaves hints of minerality, lightly golden brioche, and a cleanness that makes the wine immediately recognizable. Within the producer's portfolio, Le Mesnil 2004 occupies a prominent position as a statement of style: it is designed for those seeking a contemplative experience but also a reliable companion to oysters, shellfish, or delicate dishes, capable of evolving over time without losing its identity. For those who collect or desire a wine for significant events, it is a choice that promises controlled evolution and longevity, offering new nuances with each decade without betraying the promise of terroir: a drink that embodies the understated magnificence of the brand and the Champagne AOC appellation, showcasing the geographical area of ​​Mesnil-sur-Oger and the commitment to consistent excellence, in line with STELT's positioning.
